Asian cream sauce like Silver Lake's Silver Shrimp & Scallop

I really don't eat out much....

Today Mom wanted Silver Lake's Silver Shrimp and Scallops, which came with a "cream sauce". We got it take-out. The sauce came cold in a plastic bin. We heated it slowly in the microwave...

Wow, that sauce was really good. Seemed like it had lemon and ginger in it, can't be sure. It also seemed to be a somewhat unusual texture. More like a mayonnaise perhaps. Not quite sure.

Now I'm just dying to figure out how to cook something like it.

Anybody have any ideas? Familiar with the dish and know something similar???

It sounds very similar to shrimp with mayo served at Lao Sze Chuan. That dish is a guilty pleasure of mine.

Well, I don't think I'm going to manage to duplicate their sauce. But here's something I made that hit the spot, and was a terrific dish.

Sauce:
1 can sweetened condensed milk
About 1/2 to 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Juice of 1 lemon
Grated fresh ginger, about an inch worth

Sorry for the "guestimates" it's the best I have.

I sauteed some chicken, sliced it. Served it over pearl couscous with steamed snow peas and this sauce.

Wow, was that good.

OK, the Silver Lake dish is rice, shrimp, scallops and broccoli. I did something different because it was two nights in a row.

I know my sweetened condensed milk/heavy cream sauce is not the same as the restaurant, but it's quite good and easy. I do think there was a sweetened lemon in the restaurant sauce, and believe the lemon/ginger flavors were the same.
